Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the most important biomolecules that serves as the blueprint of life?
A
carbohydrates
B
lipids
C
nucleic acids
D
proteins
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA is called the blueprint of life because it contains the instructions needed for an organism to grow, develop, survive and reproduce. DNA does this by controlling protein synthesis. proteins do most of the work in cells, and are the basic unit of structure and function in the cells of organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleic acids are the most crucial biomolecules. They store hereditary information in codes like DNA and RNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule you may already be familiar with; it contains our genetic code, the blueprint of life. This essential molecule is the foundation for the “central dogma of biology”, or the sequence of events necessary for life to function.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nucleic acids are the most important macromolecules for the continuity of life. They carry the genetic blueprint of a cell and carry instructions for the functioning of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -RNA carries genetic information that is translated by ribosomes into various proteins necessary for cellular processes. mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA are the three main types of RNA involved in protein synthesis. RNA also serves as the primary genetic material for viruses.
